A gunman who shot and killed a teaching assistant at Purdue University will face court time today following the latest in a series of school shootings.
Cody Cousins, 23, shot Andrew Boldt, 21, in an incident that that Purdue University police chief described as an isolated attack with one target in mind. Cousins left the university’s electrical engineering building immediately after the shooting and was arrested by an officer.
The shooter was a student at the university, though no relationship has been established between Cousins and his victim.
Classes were suspended at the university on Wednesday and counseling was being offered to students traumatized by the attack.
Cousins faces a preliminary murder charge leading into his Thursday hearing.
